Useful just recipes

just

Sync the codebase dependencies

Without explicit --all-extras syncing, some recipes will not evaluate on optional dependencies and functionalities.
The sync recipe will also update the dependencies if possible.

just sync

Before committing

We (I) work with ruff, ty and pytest.

just format check ty test

Release a new version

This recipe uses release-it. You will need a working npx installation.

Install fnm with cargo

cargo install fnm --locked
fnm install --lts
fnm use --lts

just release

[!TIP] Install pre-commit hooks: just pc-install.
To keep hooks somewhat fast enough, they will only check (not forcibly fix) for typing and formatting.
